      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Perfect Picnic - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was a solo date of mine in 2025 - I packed fresh pink lemonade, a few books, and of course, my kindle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Perfect Picnic - Location</image:title>
      <image:caption>The beach, a pond, or a lake - listen to the relaxing sound of the waves and get a bit of sun on your face, typically has a bit of activity going on so not always the quietest option A local park or garden - surround yourself in the beauty of nature and fresh flowers, the perfect opportunity to wear something colorful or floral for a little photo-op Hiking trail or camping site - go a bit deeper into the forest vibe for pure peace and quiet, I recommend a buddy when hiking unknown trails, or at least sharing your location The library or museum - ditch the blanket and head indoors for a beautiful and effortless reading date, another great spot for pics</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Perfect Picnic - The Essentials Once you’ve found the perfect place to settle into - you must make sure you have all the essentials!</image:title>
      <image:caption>A blanket, a squish mellow, and my kindle are recipe for the PERFECT day!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Perfect Picnic - Snack Ideas -  Deli sandwiches - a classic picnic staple; Italian, chicken or tuna salad, ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, BLT, or veggie wraps  Fruit platters - perfect for outdoor snacking, think mixed fruit, bananas, oranges, or watermelon  Charcuterie board - an easy snack top pick at and can easily be purchased ahead of time, or made at home with a variety of crackers, cheeses, fruits, and meats  Salad - the options are endless when it comes to salad: Greek, Caesar, fruit, pasta, and sooo many more</image:title>
      <image:caption>Breakfast or brunch - I love to make brunch at home, but bringing orange juice, mimosas, iced coffee, bagels, donuts, or muffins to an early picnic would be so easy and fun. I’ll definitely be giving this a try over the summer  Take Out - consider an easier pick-up option like pizza, sushi, taco bowls, or subs  Beverages - I always bring water, especially when spending a lot of time in the sun, but you can spice things up with fresh lemonade, sparkling water, or mocktails</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - mobile store Coming Soon - Let me tell you, I am VERY proud of this little blueprint I created. Anyone who works as a builder would probably ask me what the hell this is, but as long as my boyfriend and step-dad can see the vision, we’re looking golden.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m currently researching the best and safest way to install shelving/storage/flooring. Fortunately, the interior is all wooden panels, allowing the building process to be much simpler, so I’ve heard. For the longer wall on the left, I’m planning on floor to ceiling shelves. The back right wall will have a smaller book shelf, just before the door. On the other side of that door, I am envisioning a small counter space that will be utilized for checkout and some hidden storage.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>2024 was the year I discovered the online book community - this year I’m making an effort to get out and meet new people and attend physical event! I hope to find new ways to enjoy reading and engage with others locally!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Reconnecting with reading in 2024 was so special. I truly feel like it took me out of a place that I was so stuck in. I had many hobbies that I liked but they never allowed me to feel fulfilled and I needed a way to connect with others. The book community, just on Instagram, Youtube, and Tiktok alone, opened my eyes to a world that I didn’t know I needed. I am so happy to be back into reading and to have found a place to chat and relate to others. I wanted to share some of the things I am most proud and appreciative of in 2024 to take into the new year with me!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - With my sister and best friends, I visited Seville and Barcelona in early January. It was such a blast being abroad with my favorite people.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Seville was captivating and somewhere I would absolutely travel to again, even alone! The people were so kind - life seemed to move in slow motion, almost as if there was nowhere else anyone needed to be. Barcelona was vibrant and such a good time. We visited different bars and clubs and stayed at the most spectacular hotel! I hope to take my boyfriend to Spain some day - he absolutely adores Europe!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - Nana and I share a love for music and theater. In 2024, we saw Mama Mia and Hans Zimmer. Mama Mia has been a favorite of my nana’s forEVER. It was so special to see this show with her in Boston. Our first theater show together was Hamilton, but I’d have to say Mama Mia may have been better - simply because of what it means to her.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hans Zimmer is my absolute favorite composer and I was supposed to go with my boyfriend. It’s definitely not his type of music, so when he couldn’t get out of work, I knew exactly who to call. My saving grace, sweet nana, was ready to go in a heartbeat! I’m so grateful to be so close with her and get to share these experiences together!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - In April, I purchased my first car! I’ve driven trucks my whole life and needed to make a more financially responsible decision. After much searching, I found a beautiful red 2020 Chevy Equinox. I have since named her Sunny, due to her extremely large sunroof, and am so obsessed with her! I was so proud of myself for being able to make this purchase on my own!</image:title>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - I attended college for two years, but dropped out after Covid hit. My sister decided to go to school for nutrition and absolutely killed it. She eventually moved off campus and lived with the most amazing girls - it was so much fun getting to visit them.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After four long years, (I’m sure they went too quickly for her), she graduated with her Bachelor’s in nutrition and became the first in our family to graduate college. I am so so so proud of her and can’t wait to see what she does next!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - This may seem simple to most, but I once paid for a gym membership for almost two years… $50 a month for 24 months… and I had only entered that gym once - and that was to sign up. I eventually came to terms with my failure and canceled the membership entirely.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2024, I made the decision to try again and become more responsible. I have since held myself accountable and consistently been seeing a personal trainer and completing two Pilates classes a week! I can’t believe how much better I feel about myself since starting this routine. This is something I am so looking forward to continue in 2025!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - Quin and I have been together since 2020 and finally made the step of moving in together! I had been hesitant to fully commit to renting as I was unsure we’d be able to afford saving for a house on top of it. Life certainly works it’s magic, and the perfect opportunity opened for us.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have now been living together for about 3 months and are still establishing our routines. I have loved every minute of it and am so happy to have made this step together!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - My beautiful, amazing mama married the most caring man this year! My mom has been divorced since I was seven and gave everything up to be the best mom I could have asked for. Once my sister and I became adults, she was able to put herself first (while always checking in of course, she’s still the best mom) and met the man of her dreams.</image:title>
      <image:caption>She reconnected with a friend from high school who is now my stepdad! He is so kind, he shares her sense of humor, and makes her so very happy. BONUS - he has two daughters that I gained as stepsisters as well!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Happy New Year - 2025 Goals - One of the last things I did in the year was attend a book binding class for my birthday. I had no idea what to expect, but knew I was in need of a new hobby to try.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was amazed to discover that bookbinding is not only a hobby, but a full-time career! I was amazed by the people in my class and how they turned books into their occupation. It was such a fun two days and I can’t wait to try it on my own!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - December wrap - Holiday Reads - Average Rating: 3.67 ⭐</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was so fortunate to have two 5 star reads this month - though I knew going into Heir of Fire that it was going to be 5 stars, as is the remaining books in the series!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - December wrap - Holiday Reads - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>I decided to count pages this month even though I didn’t physically read any of the books I finished. If we were to count listening hours instead, I reached 24 hours and 32 minutes total! I was really impressed by this number and it made me feel better about not reading anything earlier in the month. I feel like I really pulled it together the end of the month and was happy to get a few more books in!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - December wrap - Holiday Reads - Most of my 2024 reads were romance, so it’s no surprise that my last three reads of the year were in this genre, as well! Stick to what you love!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hooked is more of a dark romance and dipped it’s toes into the fantasy genre, though it felt most appropriate to label it as romance. I’ll Get Back To You is a queer, fake-dating romance, and actually put me in the top 10% of LGBTQ+ readers for 2024!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - November - Surviving A Book Slump - Early November was definitely difficult. I lost my grandmother and spent a large amount of my time with family. Though I didn’t have the mindset to lose myself in a good book, I was able to do a lot of fun things with friends.</image:title>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - November - Surviving A Book Slump - While hanging with Frazier, I got some reading done. I had started Love of My Afterlife by Kristy Greenwood and thought the plot was so cute.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The main character is so silly and there are a lot of rom-com moments that I’ve enjoyed so far. I’ll definitely be picking this book up again and think it will make a really cozy winter read!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - November - Surviving A Book Slump - While shopping with mama one weekend, I went into our local Barnes and Noble and met a local author! Richard Ebert was selling his new release Silentcide 2 - a sequel to his original book about a pair of young sibling assassins!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a huge reader of thrillers and these books would have stood out to me regardless, but let me tell you this man knows how to sell a book. You could tell he was truly a fan of his own characters and was so proud of the world he created. I’m looking forward to diving into this series and making a review about it!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - October wrap up - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m not counting Queen of Shadows as my longest book read this month because I utilized Audible to get through it. Currently, I’m mentally preparing for the tandem read of Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. For those who have already gotten through it, please tell me how you did it - and for those preparing as hard as I am - WE CAN DO THIS.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - October wrap up - I am a huge fan of horror fiction and psychological thrillers so I was really pleased with my book choices this month.</image:title>
      <image:caption>So Thirsty was hard to pin into just one genre - I ended up putting it in horror fiction but it truly felt every bit of thrilling, some fantasy, a bit romantic, and even a tad comedic. I really LOVED this book and will probably reread it in the future.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The World of Annotation - Check out these super cute tabbed annotations from @sunflower_library! I find these so clean looking and absolutely love that they can be color-coded.

      <image:caption>There are so many ways to utilize tabs - marking quotes, romantic scenes, or world-building in large fantasy books! It may be helpful to create a key on the first page of the book or even in a book journal to remember what each color is for.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The World of Annotation - Another beginner-friendly way to annotate your books is highlighting! This is easy to do while you’re reading, as long as you keep a highlighter on hand. ** Make sure you test it first to make sure it doesn’t bleed through - I unfortunately made this mistake and am so sad about it!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Check out Marcela’s highlighted annotations for Throne of Glass! She also utilized colorful tabs and notes - I aspire to be this organized in my annotating process! Check out her page on Instagram for more amazing annotation and book-related content! (Peep also the most relatable SJM notation I’ve ever seen - girl really takes us for a ride in the last 100 pages of her books!)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The World of Annotation - This annotation from Karishma’s bookstagram stood out to me - how CUTE? Not only is it adorable, but so very relatable. I can’t tell you how many books I’ve read that this little doodle would apply to. (Sara J Maas I’m looking at you). Karishma has some great content like this on her page - be sure to check it out on Instagram!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love that she utilized highlighting and underlining as well as the doodle. When I tried using tabs only, I found it difficult to skim the page and find what I was looking for. Making use of more than one annotation type seems to be most efficient and aesthetically pleasing!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The World of Annotation - Marcela continues her annotations into a book journal and shares her entries via @booksta.babe on Instagram! Make sure to view her page if you are planning on starting a journal as she will have TONS of photos that you can reference. Tabbing, journaling, highlighting - she has truly mastered the art of it all!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another friend of mine, has recently started a Youtube channel where she plans on sharing all things book related! She announced that her next video will be about book journaling - and believe me she has a few beautiful journals! Definitely check out @seas.library on Instagram and Youtube for more of her bookish content.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - September   wrap up - Average Rating: 4.125 ⭐</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was so fortunate to have two 5 star reads this month - though I knew going into Heir of Fire that it was going to be 5 stars, as is the remaining books in the series!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - September   wrap up - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>With a total of 1,617 pages read this month, I am feeling much better about only completing four books. Heir of Fire was technically an audiobook but it did take me quite some time to get through. As always with Sara J Maas, I could not turn it off once I got to the last hour, so I just drove aimlessly with my jaw on the floor of my car.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - September   wrap up - I read my first historical fiction of the year, The Frozen River. I really enjoyed it and honestly might dive into other historical fiction books now.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My most popular genre this year has been romance, but I’m looking forward to horror and thriller reads in October for spooky season!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>I filled this particular bouquet with romance books for my sweet friend, Amanda! She is a walking ray of sunshine so I wanted to make sure this bouquet was bright and colorful to represent her in that way. I selected Someone Else's Bucket List by Amy Matthews, Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren, and Girl Abroad by Elle Kennedy!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - All of the supplies needed for this project were available at my local craft store, though you could always order from Amazon as well! Feel free to swap out any of the materials for others that you find better and be sure to tag me on Instagram with the results!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Here is a breakdown of everything you’ll need to make an adorable bouquet similar to the one pictured above!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>There was definitely a lot of extra plastic but I wanted to ensure that the tape did not ruin the books. I was able to secure them a lot better because of all the tape I stuck to the plastic.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - When held upright they were secure but as I laid down the bouquet, I could definitely feel them pulling on the sticks due to their weight.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I would likely adjust where I put the sticks on the books as well. I was able to push some further then others into the Styrofoam to allow for different heights, though I think the latter would have been easier when looking back.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Take your time playing with different heights, textures, and colors when adding the flowers. For some reason, I can't arrange a real bouquet for my life but once books are involved I'm a seasoned florist!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - I wrapped the bottom first with one of the corners and taped it down to ensure it was fixed tight. I then folded the backside of the paper down so that it wasn’t as visible from the front.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lastly, I tied a bow around to hide some of the tape and add a final pop of color!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am so so so happy with the final product and my friend Amanda absolutely loved it!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - DIY “Book”quet - She surprised me with this bouquet a few days later that she made herself. She gifted me A Novel Story, The Final Girl Support Group (which is UP there on my TBR this year), and Love and Other Words. It was so great to have a personalized gift made with new books for my TBR! She’s so sweet!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I hope for the chance to make another one of these soon because it was truly so much fun. Be sure to tag me in your own book bouquets - I can’t wait to see them all! Happy reading!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Books That Made Me - me - My mom ALWAYS embarrasses me with the story of potty-training as a toddler - supposedly I would sit on the little toilet reading and throwing book after book demanding “more”. Even though I couldn’t yet read, I loved flipping through the pages and making my own stories.</image:title>
      <image:caption>From picture books, to chapter books, I have always been a big reader. I fell out of the habit in high school and was so happy to pick it up again these last few years. I figured I’d join the trend and share the books that made me fall in love with reading!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Books That Made Me - me - When it comes to Curious George, I will accept no hate at all. I had the entire collection of stories in one heavy book and always read it when I stayed home sick. My favorite story was the one where he swallowed a puzzle piece and had an Xray taken.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I loved reading about animals, real or stuffed, and that’s why Corduroy has a special place in my heart. I used to tear up reading about him in the store all by himself, losing his button. I guarantee that my children will definitely have each of these on their shelves!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Books That Made Me - me - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom was a staple in my house and I always used to dance when my mom read it to me. The same goes for Brown Bear, Brown Bear - I had that little rhyme stuck in every single one of my family members’ heads.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie were so cozy! I absolutely loved the illustrations and felt so snug and content when reading with my mom or nana.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Books That Made Me - me - I distinctly remember Vacation Under the Volcano and Tonight on the Titanic. I was fascinated by the real life events told in the eyes of children - more specifically characters that I felt I related to.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I absolutely adored the Boxcar Children series - as an older sibling, I loved reading and relating to Henry and Jessie. I was always obsessed with Benny’s name and wanted everything to be named after him - Webkinz, stuffed animals, all of them had to be named Benny.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - The Books That Made Me - me - The Scholastic fair was always the place to get those huge pointer fingers, pens, and other fun stuff. Along with these accessories, I did always get at least one book. Smile was my first graphic novel and I LOVED it! Having braces on for six years and feeling so self-conscious of them in middle school, this book was such a relief at that time of my life!</image:title>
      <image:caption>There was a long period of time that I always named Margaret Peterson Haddix as my favorite author. Continuing my love of boxsets, I found The Shadow Children and the Found series. She sparked my interest for dystopian stories!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Welcome To Printessential - You can pretty much find me reading, no matter where I am - in this case it would be tucked into bed with a hot cup of tea….</image:title>
      <image:caption>As I reignite my love for books, I’ve come to wonder if every book is five-star outstanding or if I’m just simply that easily entertained? Hopefully starting this blog with reviews will refine my taste and allow me to narrow down exactly what it is that I prefer to read in a novel. My go-to genres include romance, fantasy, and thrillers, though I’ve been slowly diving into horror and historical fiction!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Bookish Blog - Welcome To Printessential - I ‘m not one to annotate my books, though I have tried in the past. I definitely want to explore new ways to immerse myself in each book I’m reading so I will definitely be sharing this little journey!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I prefer a larger chunk of time sit down and read, however I will take advantage of my lunch break every so often. I can’t help but read on my break during the fall; my favorite time of year to read is a chilly New England autumn - cozied up in a sweater or blanket outside in the crisp air. I have so much to look forward to starting this blog. Make sure to follow me on my Instagram as well if you want more fun bookish content!</image:caption>
